Complete Crush™
A new, proprietary approach to proppant crush testing that leverages a modified Kozeny-Carman equation to estimate permeability directly from crush testing, offering engineers a more practical and predictive tool for proppant selection.
Consortium 2025
Comprised of operators, service companies, proppant suppliers, chemical suppliers, and universities, this member-driven research describes and predicts the behavior of proppants under realistic downhole conditions. Consortium findings allow members to compare proppants, predict expected well productivity, and make economic decisions. The next consortium meeting will take place in July, 2025. If you are not part of a member organization and are interested in attending, let us know here.
